Full Text of Article:--The election in this Borough on Friday last was unusually animated so far as the South Ward was concerned, in the North Ward matters were conducted with more moderation. The contest for Justice among our uptown neighbors was quite interesting. T. L. Fletcher was the "regular nominee" of the Republican party. Mr. Samuel Reisher, not liking the manner of the nomination, placed himself on the track as an independent candidate and made a very creditable run--beating the "regular nominee." Mr. H. B. Davison, the Democratic candidate, however, came within a few votes of beating them both and was, of course, elected with the balance of the Democratic ticket in that Ward. The tickets elected in the respective Wards of this borough stand as follows:--North Ward--Judge: W. C. Murry; Inspectors, J. W. Fletcher and W. H. Boyle; Constable, R. F. McClellan; Assessor, Samuel Etter. South Ward--Judge, George Ludwig; Inspectors, A. Martin and G. W. Heagy; Justice of the Peace, H. B. Davison; Constable, Geo. Bittner. If the Election officers in the townships over the county, will furnish us with the names of those elected, particularly the Justices and Constables, we will publish them without any charge, and will feel obliged to any one who will interest himself in procuring them for us.
Gettysburg Railroad

Full Text of Article:--A company of gentlemen were engaged, last week, in a survey and examination of a route for the contemplated Railroad between this place and Gettysburg. They have found the location for the road more favorable than was anticipated. From this place to the South Mountain the road will be almost straight and of very easy grades. A gap has been discovered in the Mountain through which the road can pass at a grade of less than fifty feet to the mile. The survey will be continued on the other side of the Mountain and it is thought, from a cursory examination, that a location for the road can be found as favorable as on this side. The survey will be pushed on energetically and in the course of a few weeks we will have the pleasure of placing the report of the Engineer before our readers.
